At Prestige Medical Group, we are proud to offer Elevate Cystocele Repair with Mesh, a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of vaginal prolapse, specifically addressing the bladder and/or apex of the vagina. This advanced surgical option provides long-lasting support and relief for women experiencing discomfort, urinary issues, or other symptoms caused by pelvic organ prolapse.

 

What Is Elevate Cystocele Repair with Mesh?

The Elevate® procedure is performed entirely through the vaginal canal, with no abdominal incisions, offering a minimally invasive solution to support weakened pelvic structures. Using a lightweight, permanent mesh, this technique reinforces the bladder and vaginal wall, helping to restore the bladder to its natural position.

Key Features of the Procedure

  • Condition Treated: Vaginal prolapse of the bladder and/or apex of the vagina.
  • Anesthesia: Performed under general anesthesia for maximum comfort.
  • Patient Positioning: The patient is placed in the lithotomy position (legs in stirrups).
  • Surgical Approach:
    • The vaginal tissue is carefully separated from the bladder wall.
    • A permanent mesh is placed behind the bladder for structural support.
    • Mesh arms are anchored to the sacrospinous ligament in the pelvis for stability.
    • The vaginal tissue is closed with dissolvable stitches.
  • Duration: Approximately 45 minutes to complete.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

  • Hospital Stay:
    After surgery, patients stay overnight in the hospital. Vaginal gauze packing and a catheter will be in place to drain the bladder. Both are typically removed the next morning before discharge.
  • Discharge Instructions:
    If you are unable to void properly, you may be sent home with a catheter, which will be removed in one week.
  • Activity Restrictions:
    • No straining or lifting over 20 pounds for 6 weeks.
    • Avoid sexual activity and tampons during this period.
  • Recovery Timeline:
    Most women feel back to normal within two weeks, but full recovery takes six weeks.
